The number of victim organizations hit by Cl0p via vulnerable MOVEit installations has surpassed 2,000, and the number of affected individuals is now over 60 million.

The victim organizations are overwhelmingly based in the US. "The most heavily impacted sectors are finance and professional services and education, which account for 13.8 percent and 51.1 percent of incidents respectively," Emsisoft researchers have shared on Monday.

As we reported on Monday, the US educational non-profit organization National Student Clearinghouse was also hit and data belonging to nearly 900 schools and their students has been compromised.

Cl0p has been naming MOVEit hack victims on their leak site for months.

"Some of the organizations impacted provide services to multiple other organizations, and so the numbers are likely to increase significantly as those organizations start to file notifications," said Emsisoft's Zach Simas.

"It should be noted that there will invariably be some overlap in terms of individuals impacted. Some organizations had MOVEit exposure via multiple vendors, which means the customers of those organizations will likely have had multiple exposures too."
